HOUSTON, TX — The reward for a Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender has been increased.
The reward for Leonard Dee Taylor has been increased to $4,000 for information leading to his capture, if the tip comes in during the month of February.
Taylor is wanted for failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements and a parole violation.
He has been wanted since April 2018, when he absconded from his last known address in Houston.
He also has ties to Bowie County (Texarkana) and parts of Louisiana.
In 2003, Taylor was convicted in Bowie County of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child after incidents involving two girls, ages 4 and 9.
